Niki Ruttan's family emergency

Nicole "Niki" Ruttan is going through a tough time. In January, she bought her first home (in Worcester) and was planning to move her elderly mom up from Kentucky this month to live with her. A week before Niki moved into the new house, her mother had a serious accident--she fell and was lying on the floor for at least 4 days before someone found her. She had contracted a sepsis and was in the ICU for several weeks. Thankfully, her mom is now stable, but is facing a long road ahead, including multiple surgeries and rehab. The situation has created unexpected expenses for Niki at what is already a stressful time. In addition to the costs of being a new homeowner, she is making frequent trips to Kentucky and will need to make modifications to the house (e.g. a ramp) for when her mother can finally move here. Niki doesn't like asking for help, so a few of us thought we'd ask on her behalf. Thank you in advance!
